Anyone in UX Design?
- Thread starter Sinnerman
- Start date
Thinking about enrolling in Coursera's UX course after the Cybersecurity one.To give you a little background, a few months ago I finished that Google/Coursera UX design course. I enrolled in the course initially just as something to do, but I found that I really enjoyed doing it.
After finishing the program, I got a part time entry level position in UX design(I'm a CPA as my full time job).
What else should I learn as I continue to advance in UX design? Should I learn some coding?(HTML/CSS)
Reps for any advice
How did you get the PT job? Could you have gotten a FT from the course itself?

If you can take a General Assembly bootcamp, that would be your best bet.To give you a little background, a few months ago I finished that Google/Coursera UX design course. I enrolled in the course initially just as something to do, but I found that I really enjoyed doing it.

My wife did a BootCamp last year and got into a high-paying UX job.
yea...those guarantee you a gig but cost a grip ($10K plus you must attend FT; lower pay they do not assist with placement)
My question was more geared toward your assignments and journey to your PT gig

How’s your UX journey going?? I’m looking to start a program this year
Hey…I’m trying to be like your wife
Congrats to her!Did she have any experience in the field at all prior to the bootcamp, or did she go from no experience to new career?
I want to do a UX/UI bootcamp this year, but I want to make sure I’ll actually be prepared to walk into a new career.

She liking it
works at a Fortune 500 company, but she works hard and really smart. She likes her job a lot.
That’s amazing. Glad to hear the bootcamp route worked out! That gives me some confidence moving forward.
Not trying to pry- last question if it’s ok: did she actually go with General Assembly or a diff bootcamp?
